Accessory 830 may be a male adult toy (e.g., a penis sleeve) or a female adult toy (e.g., a dildo or a vibrator). System 800 may be used in a game (e.g., a video game or a virtual game) having two or more roles. One role may be played by a player (e.g., user 324 or model 335) and one role may be controlled by artificial intelligence (e.g., a virtual role played by a computer or neural network of system 800). Accessory 830 that may be an adult toy may be actuated based on an operation of system 800. For example if the game role controlled by the player (e.g., user 324 or model 335) is beaten in the game by the Artificial Intelligence role, system 800 may control accessory 830 to vibrate (e.g., or take any other exemplary action as described for example herein), e.g., within a certain period of time. If the game role controlled by the player (e.g., user 324 or model 335) is dead or reaches exhaustion (e.g., runs out of energy) in the game, system 800 may control accessory 830 to vibrate from a strong vibration to a weak vibration until stopping (e.g., or take any other action as described for example herein).

There may be multiple game roles controlled by the exemplary Artificial Intelligence, including varying levels of Artificial Intelligence performance with varying levels of difficulty to be able to defeat during game play. A given player (e.g., user 324 or model 335) may select an Artificial Intelligence level that is suitable for that player. For example, a beginner-level player may choose a low-level Artificial Intelligence role as an opponent, and an experienced player may choose a more advanced level (e.g., tougher or harder to defeat) Artificial Intelligence role as an opponent to make the game more challenging.

The exemplary disclosed accessory may generate control instructions when used in the exemplary system by detecting a user's movement on the adult toy. For example, the deeper that a player's body portion is inserted into the exemplary accessory that may be an adult toy (e.g., the deeper a penis is inserted into a penis sleeve), the stronger a command that is given to control the user's game role may be. For example, a game role (e.g., avatar or other suitable character displayed in a game) may be caused to act with greater power (e.g., jump further, move faster, generate more energy, shoot stronger lasers, and/or any other game play actions that may be made stronger). Similar instructions having a greater power may be relayed for example when the exemplary accessory is a vibrator or a dildo (e.g., or other suitable sex toy) that is inserted deeply into a user's body part (e.g., genital body part such as a vagina) or any other desired body cavity.

<figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIG. 14</figref> illustrates exemplary roles that may be used in one or more games of the exemplary disclosed system. For example, the exemplary disclosed system may include a first role (e.g., role “A”) that may be a game character 2001 (e.g., a male character or any other desired character as described for example herein). Also for example, the exemplary disclosed system may include a second role (e.g., role “B”) that may be a game character 2002 (e.g., a female character or any other desired character as described for example herein). Game characters 2001 and 2002 may be any desired graphical element that may be displayed by the exemplary disclosed system (e.g., a cartoon character, a graphical depiction of the user, and/or any other suitable graphical depiction that may be displayed on a display of a computing device as described for example herein).

<figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIGS. 15A through 15E</figref> illustrate exemplary control movements that a user (e.g., user 324 or model 335) may make utilizing an exemplary disclosed accessory (e.g., accessory 330 or accessory 331). The exemplary disclosed system may provide any desired game, and users may select a desired game from an exemplary disclosed user interface. For example, users may play a fighting game using virtual game characters (e.g., game characters 2001 and 2002), which may be controlled using the exemplary disclosed accessories (e.g., accessories 330 and/or 331). In a first example, game character 2001 may be controlled by a user using an accessory and game character 2002 may be controlled by the exemplary system (e.g., by artificial intelligence). In a second example, game character 2001 may be controlled by a user using an accessory and game character 2002 may be controlled by another user using an accessory. In a third example, game character 2001 may be controlled by the exemplary system (e.g., by artificial intelligence) and game character 2002 may be controlled by a user using an accessory. In a fourth example, both game characters 2001 and 2002 may be controlled by the exemplary system (e.g., by artificial intelligence).

In at least some exemplary embodiments, if a game character is controlled by an adult toy, predetermined (e.g., pre-defined) instructions maybe stored by the exemplary disclosed system. The instructions may be for example predetermined instructions or customized instructions input by a user. Each predetermined instruction may be related to a certain operation of the adult toy. An exemplary instruction may be a backward instruction (e.g., as illustrated in <figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIG. 15A</figref>): part of the user's (e.g., user 324) body may come out slowly from the accessory (e.g., accessory 330 that may be an adult toy), and a sensor system of the accessory may then detect the operation and send control data to the exemplary system to trigger an instruction that may make the character (e.g., game character 2001 or 2002) move back in the game. Another exemplary instruction may be a forward instruction (e.g., as illustrated in <figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIG. 15B</figref>): part of the user's (e.g., user 324) body may go into the accessory (e.g., adult toy), and a sensor system may then detect the operation and send control data to the exemplary system to trigger an instruction that makes the game character (e.g., game character 2001 or 2002) move ahead in the game. Another exemplary instruction may be a press instruction (e.g., as illustrated in <figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIG. 15C</figref>): there may be buttons on the accessory (e.g., adult toy), and when those buttons are pressed, the adult toy may send control data to the exemplary system to trigger instructions that may for example make the character begin to fight or throw a bomb to kill another game character (e.g., game character 2001 or 2002). Another exemplary instruction may be a clockwise rotation instruction (e.g., as illustrated in <figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIG. 15D</figref>): when the accessory (e.g., adult toy) rotates in a clockwise direction, the sensor system may then detect the operation and send a control data to the exemplary system to trigger an instruction that may make the game character (e.g., game character 2001 or 2002) turn or rotate in a first direction. Another exemplary instruction may be a counterclockwise rotation instruction (e.g., as illustrated in <figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIG. 15E</figref>): when the accessory (e.g., adult toy) rotates in a counterclockwise direction, the sensor system may then detect the operation and send a control data to the exemplary system to trigger an instruction that may make the character (e.g., game character 2001 or 2002) turn or rotate in a second direction that may be opposite to the first direction illustrated in <figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIG. 15D</figref>.

In at least some exemplary embodiments, the game characters (e.g., game character 2001 or 2002) may be controlled by exemplary accessories (e.g., accessories 330 and 331 such as adult toys), and the exemplary accessories may also be controlled by actions of the game characters. For example in the case of a fighting game, if a game character (e.g., game character 2001 or 2002) defeats his or her opponent and wins the game, the game character may earn credit (e.g., “energy”) to actuate (e.g., control the exemplary accessory as described for example above) the exemplary accessory (e.g., accessories 330 and/or 331 such as an adult toy). If a game character (e.g., game character 2001 or 2002) is defeated by his or her opponent, then that character may die in the game, and the accessory (e.g., accessory 330 or accessory 331) worn by the user controlling that game character may vibrate for a predetermined time (e.g., a spawning time that may be a time for introducing a new character controlled by that user into the game) with for example a countdown.

In at least some exemplary embodiments when the game is played on a broadcast platform for example as illustrated in <figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIGS. 11-13</figref>, a winner (e.g., user 324 or model 335) of the game may be granted access to an operation (e.g., a privilege) by system 300 to activate exemplary accessories of other users. For example, the winner may cause (e.g., trigger) exemplary accessories (e.g., accessories 330 or 331) of other users (e.g., one or more users 324 and/or one or more models 335) to vibrate or make any other exemplary action as described for example herein. The game may be displayed by system 300 on an exemplary user device (e.g., a display or “broadcast show window” displayed by model device 320, user device 322, personal device 325, and/or personal device 326), and a user (e.g., a human user such as user 324 or model 335 who has logged into the broadcast platform) may control the virtual game character (e.g., game character 2001 or 2002) directly or via operation of an exemplary accessory (e.g., accessory 330 or accessory 331) as described for example herein. A given virtual game character (e.g., game character 2001 or 2002) maybe related to a given user (e.g., an account of a given user 324 or model 335 active on system 300), and that user may add credits (e.g., purchase credits or value for use on system 300 via paying currency or “tips”) to obtain additional energy for one or more virtual game characters (e.g., one or more game characters 2001 and/or 2002) controlled by that user.

<figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIG. 16</figref> illustrates another exemplary embodiment of the exemplary disclosed system. System 2100 may include any suitable game and video game interface such as a “passing through” game. For example, users (e.g., user 324) may select a desired game from various game options provided by system 2100. For example, a user (e.g., user 324) may control game character 2001 and a model (e.g., model 335) may control game character 2002 using exemplary accessories (e.g., accessory 330 or accessory 331) as described for example above. In at least some exemplary embodiments, graphical objectives (e.g., graphical element 2101 and graphical element 2102) may be displayed, which the users may compete with each other to reach first. For example, graphical elements 2101 and 2102 may graphically display adult toys that may be worn by the various users controlling the characters. For example, when one user (e.g., user 324 or model 335) reaches a graphical element 2101 or 2102 or completes a certain level of the game first, that user may be granted a privilege by system 2100 to control (e.g., trigger) an exemplary accessory (e.g., accessory 330 or accessory 331) of the other users in the game to vibrate or be actuated in any suitable way (e.g., as described for example above).

<figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIG. 17</figref> illustrates another exemplary embodiment of the exemplary disclosed system. System 2200 may include any suitable game and video game interface such as a sports game (e.g., ping pong, tennis, basketball, soccer, football, and/or any other suitable sports game for video game play). For example, a user (e.g., model 335) may control graphical element 2201 using an exemplary accessory (e.g., accessory 330) as described for example above. Another user (e.g., user 324) may control graphical element 2202 using an exemplary accessory (e.g., accessory 331) as described for example above. As illustrated in <figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIG. 17</figref>, graphical elements 2201 and 2202 may be baffles for blocking one or more “game balls” such as graphical elements 2203 and 2204 at both ends of a “game table.” Users (e.g., user 324 and model 335) may control respective graphical elements 2201 and 2202 (e.g., baffles) to move up and down via control of respective accessories (e.g., accessories 330 and 331). Also for example, a speed of movement of graphical elements 2201, 2202, 2203, and/or 2204 may be controlled via control by the users of respective accessories 330 and 331. For example, the deeper a body part (e.g., a penis) of user 324 may be inserted into accessory 331 (e.g., a penis sleeve), the faster a speed of graphical elements 2201, 2202, 2203, and/or 2204 (e.g., one or more baffles and/or one or more game balls) may be. Also for example, the deeper accessory 330 (e.g., a dildo) may be inserted into a body part (e.g., a vagina) of model 335, the faster a speed of graphical elements 2201, 2202, 2203, and/or 2204 (e.g., one or more baffles and/or one or more game balls) may be.

Graphical elements 2203 and/or 2204 (e.g., game balls) may bounce back and forth between ends of the game playing space (e.g., between ends of the “game table”). If graphical elements 2203 and/or 2204 are blocked by graphical elements 2201 and/or 2202 (e.g., a baffle), the game ball may bounce back toward the other side of the playing space. If graphical elements 2203 and/or 2204 (e.g., one or more balls) are not blocked and continue past the end of the “game table,” the balls may come off of the game table and drop to the “floor,” with the user who missed blocking the ball for example losing a point and/or losing the game. When the game has ended, the exemplary accessory (e.g., accessory 330 or 331, which may be an adult toy) of the losing player (e.g., user 324 or model 335) may vibrate from a strong level to a weak level (e.g., or make any other actions or movements as described for example herein) until stopping, and the exemplary accessory (e.g., accessory 330 or 331, which may be an adult toy) of the winning player (e.g., user 324 or model 335) may vibrate from a weak level to a strong level (e.g., or make any other actions or movements as described for example herein) for a predetermined period of time (e.g., a time that may be set by system 2200).

In a first example, graphical element 2201 may be controlled by a user using an accessory and graphical element 2202 may be controlled by the exemplary system (e.g., by artificial intelligence). In a second example, graphical element 2201 may be controlled by a user using an accessory and graphical element 2202 may be controlled by another user using an accessory. In a third example, graphical element 2201 may be controlled by the exemplary system (e.g., by artificial intelligence) and graphical element 2202 may be controlled by a user using an accessory. In a fourth example, both graphical elements 2201 and 2202 may be controlled by the exemplary system (e.g., by artificial intelligence).

The exemplary disclosed apparatus, system, and method may be used in any suitable application for controlling a computing device interaction using an accessory. For example, the exemplary disclosed apparatus, system, and method may be used for controlling a game using an accessory. For example, the exemplary disclosed apparatus, system, and method may be used in any suitable application for controlling a game such as a video game displayed on a user interface, a virtual reality video game, and/or any other game played on a computing device or other suitable user interface. For example, the exemplary disclosed apparatus, system, and method may be used in an erotic game such as an erotic video game. The exemplary disclosed apparatus, system, and method may also be used in any other suitable computing device interaction such as virtual physical therapy, virtual medical clinical work or appointments, virtual massage, and/or any other suitable type of computing device interaction involving tactile contact or stimulation of a body portion. The exemplary disclosed apparatus, system, and method may also be used in a broadcast platform such as a user sending a tip to start a ball dropping from a top to a bottom of a screen, then a model squeezing an adult toy by using his or her body to force the ball to rise up from the bottom to the top of the screen. The exemplary disclosed apparatus, system, and method may also be used for a “number disappearing game” in a broadcast platform such as a model setting up a range of numbers (for example 1-120); when a number disappears, the exemplary adult toy will vibrate based on that number; if a user sends a certain amount of tips (for example 3 tips), then the number (e.g., number 3 in the range of numbers will disappear. If the tip (with a certain number such as 4 tips) that is sent by a user cannot be found in the range of numbers (for example, the number has disappeared because another user has sent 4 tips before), then there may be two choices: choice 1 may be to eliminate or “disappear” a smaller number in the range of number; and choice 2 (e.g., when all those smaller number have been eliminated or “disappeared”) may involve accumulating (e.g., adding up) other users' tips to make a bigger number be eliminated or “disappeared.” When all the numbers (e.g., from 1-120) have disappeared, the game may end.

An exemplary operation of the exemplary disclosed apparatus, system, and method will now be described. For example, <figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIG. 18</figref> illustrates an exemplary process 400. In at least some exemplary embodiments, process 400 may be a method for providing any suitable type of computing device interaction (e.g., a general game type, a type of physical therapy session, and/or any other desired type of computing device interaction). Process 400 begins at step 405.

At step 410, a user (e.g., user 324 or model 335 that may be an “initiating user”) may log in to the exemplary disclosed system (e.g., system 300). At step 415, the user (e.g., via model device 320, user device 322, personal device 325, and/or personal device 326) may select a desired computing device interaction such as, for example, a desired game (e.g., video game). For example, the user may enter input that may be processed by game setting module 340 to set a desired interaction.

At step 420, the user (e.g., via model device 320, user device 322, personal device 325, and/or personal device 326) may configure an exemplary accessory (e.g., accessory 330 or accessory 331) based on the interaction selected at step 415. For example, the user may enter input that may be processed by game instruction module 345 to configure the exemplary disclosed accessory. For example, a user may configure the exemplary accessory to control a game element (e.g., game character 2001 or 2002) to move based on actions taken by the user on the exemplary accessory such as for example as described above regarding <figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIGS. 15A through 15E</figref>. The configuration may also for example be based on predetermined criteria.

At step 425, the user may begin a partner selection process to determine one or more users with which to perform the selected computing interaction (e.g., game). At step 430, the exemplary disclosed system may determine whether or not any other users have applied to join the computing device interaction initiated by the user at step 415. For example, when the user initiates the interaction (e.g., game) at step 415, the exemplary disclosed system may provide a notification to some or all users that the interaction is underway (e.g., may notify ‘contacts” or “friends” of the initiating user and/or some or all users on the exemplary disclosed system). If the exemplary disclosed system determines that no other users have applied to join the present interaction, the exemplary disclosed system may proceed to step 435.

At step 435, the initiating user may invite other users to join the present interaction. For example, the user may select users from a “friends” or contacts list, based on a search of all users active on the system, and/or any other suitable technique for inviting other users. The system may then proceed to step 440. Also for example, if other users have applied to join the present interaction at step 430, the system may proceed directly to step 440.

At step 440, the exemplary disclosed system may determine whether or not the present interaction should proceed. For example, the exemplary disclosed system may determine whether a game should begin with the initiating user playing with additional users. In at least some exemplary embodiments, the initiating user may accept or decline other users who applied to join the interaction at step 430. Also for example, the system may determine whether other users have accepted or declined the initiating user's invitation sent at step 435. In at least some exemplary embodiments, a predetermined amount of time may pass to allow users to determine whether or not they wish to join the present interaction. Also for example, the interaction may automatically begin when a predetermined number of users have been accepted to join. Further for example, the initiating user may manually begin the interaction (e.g., begin game play, a therapy, a clinical appointment, or any other desired interaction) based on the users who have joined up to a certain point in time. The interaction may then begin at step 445 (e.g., a game may begin).

If at step 440 no other or not enough users (e.g., based on the initiating user's discretion) have been accepted by the initiating user to join, or no other users have accepted the initiating user's invitation at step 435, the initiating user and/or the exemplary disclosed system may decline to initiate the interaction. The system may proceed to step 450, at which the initiating user may be prompted whether or not to continue to search for other participants (e.g., players). If the initiating user enters input to continue to look for partners, the system may return to step 430. If the initiating user enters input not to continue looking for a new partner, process 400 may end at step 465.

If the interaction was initiated at step 445, the interaction (e.g., game) may proceed. As the interaction is underway, the exemplary disclosed system may determine at step 455 whether or not the interaction is finished. If the interaction is not finished, the system may return to step 445 as the interaction is continued (e.g., game play continues). If the exemplary disclosed system determines at step 455 that the interaction is finished, the interaction may end at step 460 (e.g., game play may stop). The exemplary disclosed system may also determine at step 460 whether or not a new interaction should begin (e.g., restart). The system may determine whether or not a new interaction should begin based on input from the initiating user, predetermined criteria (e.g., multiple interactions are to take place), and/or any other suitable criteria. If a new interaction is to take place, the exemplary disclosed system may return to step 425. If a new interaction is not to take place, the exemplary disclosed system may proceed to step 465, ending process 400.

Another exemplary operation of the exemplary disclosed apparatus, system, and method will now be described. For example, <figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIG. 19</figref> illustrates an exemplary process 500. In at least some exemplary embodiments, process 500 may be a method for providing any suitable type of computing device interaction such as a fighting game (e.g., fighting video game). Process 500 begins at step 505.

At step 510, a user (e.g., user 324 or model 335 that may be a “first user” or an “initiating user”) may log in to the exemplary disclosed system (e.g., system 300). At step 515, the user (e.g., via model device 320, user device 322, personal device 325, and/or personal device 326) may select a desired computing device interaction such as, for example, a fighting game (e.g., a fighting video game). For example, the user may enter input that may be processed by game setting module 340 to set a desired interaction.

At step 520, the user (e.g., via model device 320, user device 322, personal device 325, and/or personal device 326) may configure an exemplary accessory (e.g., accessory 330 or accessory 331) based on the interaction selected at step 515. For example, the user may enter input that may be processed by game instruction module 345 to configure the exemplary disclosed accessory. For example, a user may configure the exemplary accessory to control a game element (e.g., game character 2001 or 2002) to move based on actions taken by the user on the exemplary accessory such as for example as described above regarding <figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIGS. 15A through 15E</figref>. The configuration may also be for example based on predetermined criteria in view of the selected interaction.

At step 525, the user may select a role (e.g., game character such as game character 2001 or 2002, or any other suitable game character) in the interaction (e.g., fighting game). For example, the user may select a game character having a desired body type or size, capabilities, weapons, and/or any other desired attributes.

At step 530, the exemplary disclosed system may determine whether or not another role in the interaction is controlled by a second user (e.g., a human user such as user 324 or model 335). If the exemplary disclosed system determines that a second user (e.g., human user) is not controlling a game character in the interaction, the system may proceed to step 535. At step 535, the interaction (e.g., game such as a fighting game) proceeds with a game character controlled by the initiating or first user and a role controlled by the exemplary disclosed system (e.g., by artificial intelligence).

At step 540, the exemplary disclosed system may determine whether or not the initiating or first user performed better at the interaction (e.g., won the fighting game) than the game character controlled by the artificial intelligence. For example, game result module 350 may determine whether or not the initiating or first user performed better at the game and/or defeated the game character controlled by the artificial intelligence. If the exemplary disclosed system determines that the initiating or first user performed better than (e.g., or performed equal to) the artificial intelligence, the system may proceed to step 545. If the exemplary disclosed system determines that the initiating or first user did not perform better than the artificial intelligence, the system may proceed to step 570, ending process 500.

At step 545, the interaction may continue and/or restart (e.g., start a new game) with more advanced artificial intelligence controlling the game character opposing the initiating or first user. The interaction may proceed (e.g., game play may proceed). At step 550, the exemplary disclosed system may again determine whether or not the initiating or first user performed better at the interaction (e.g., won the fighting game) than the game character controlled by the artificial intelligence. If the exemplary disclosed system determines that the initiating or first user again performed better than (e.g., or performed equal to) the artificial intelligence, the system may return to step 545 (e.g., more advanced artificial intelligence may be provided as an opponent). If the exemplary disclosed system determines that the initiating or first user did not perform better than the artificial intelligence, the system may proceed to step 570, ending process 500.

If the exemplary disclosed system determines at step 530 that a second user (e.g., human user) is controlling a game character in the interaction, the system may proceed to step 555. At step 555, the interaction (e.g., game such as a fighting game) proceeds with a game character controlled by a human user (e.g., user 324 or model 335). Game play between the users may proceed.

At step 560, game result module 350 may determine which user performed better at the interaction, and based on the results, game communication module 355 may control the respective accessories of the winning and losing users as described for example above (e.g., or allow the winning user to control the other accessory of the losing user). For example, game result module 350 may quantify a computing device interaction performance (e.g., measure and quantify a performance of one or more users based on predetermined criteria such as scoring for effective performance in a game). For example, the exemplary disclosed accessories may be controlled by the system and/or winning (e.g., or losing) user based on predetermined criteria and/or as described for example above. For example, accessories may vibrate from strong to weak, weak to strong, and/or be make any other movements or actions as described for example above. For example, the winning user may be provided with more desirable actions by the accessory and more discretion in controlling the accessory. In at least some exemplary embodiments, the winning user may activate the exemplary accessory of the losing player (e.g., to trigger a predetermined action and/or to manually control the accessory as described for example herein) and/or the losing player may be directed by the exemplary system to control the winner's accessory to comfort the winner. In at least some exemplary embodiments, the accessory of the losing user may be activated by the winning player and/or the system may direct the losing player to comfort the winner based on controlling the winner's accessory. Also for example, the losing player may be directed to speak, make utterances, and/or take actions (e.g., that may be recorded by a camera and transmitted to the winner) that may please or comfort the winner.

At step 565, the exemplary system may determine whether or not the interaction will be performed again based on, for example, input from the initiating user and/or other users, predetermined criteria, and/or any other suitable criteria. If the system determines that another interaction should be performed, the system returns to step 555. If the system determines that another interaction should not be performed, the system proceeds to step 570, ending process 500.

Another exemplary operation of the exemplary disclosed apparatus, system, and method will now be described. For example, <figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIG. 20</figref> illustrates an exemplary process 600. In at least some exemplary embodiments, process 600 may be a method for providing any suitable type of computing device interaction such as a passing through game (e.g., passing through video game as described for example above). Process 600 begins at step 605.

At step 610, a user (e.g., user 324 or model 335 that may be a “first user” or an “initiating user”) may log in to the exemplary disclosed system (e.g., system 300). At step 615, the user (e.g., via model device 320, user device 322, personal device 325, and/or personal device 326) may select a desired computing device interaction such as, for example, a passing through game (e.g., a passing through or multilevel video game). For example, the user may enter input that may be processed by game setting module 340 to set a desired interaction.

At step 620, the user (e.g., via model device 320, user device 322, personal device 325, and/or personal device 326) may configure an exemplary accessory (e.g., accessory 330 or accessory 331) based on the interaction selected at step 615. For example, the user may enter input that may be processed by game instruction module 345 to configure the exemplary disclosed accessory. For example, a user may configure the exemplary accessory to control a game element (e.g., game character 2001 or 2002) to move based on actions taken by the user on the exemplary accessory such as for example as described above regarding <figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIGS. 15A through 15E</figref>.

At step 625, the user may select a desired game configuration such as single user configuration or a multiple user configuration. At step 630, the exemplary disclosed system may determine whether or not the multiple user configuration has been selected. If the exemplary disclosed system determines that a multiple user configuration has not been selected, the system may proceed to step 635. At step 635, the interaction (e.g., game such as a passing through game) proceeds with a game character controlled by the initiating or first user being controlled in a single user configuration.

At step 640, the exemplary disclosed system may determine whether or not the initiating or first user met or exceeded a predetermined level. The predetermined level may be for example, a predetermined time limit for completing a level or stage of the game, scoring a predetermined number of points, and/or achieving any suitable predetermined threshold that may be set, for example, based on the exemplary disclosed system (e.g., based on high scores of all users, a certain percentage or level derived from aggregate scores, and/or any other suitable criteria). If the exemplary disclosed system determines that the initiating user performed better than (e.g., or performed equal to) the predetermined level or threshold, the system may proceed to step 645. If the exemplary disclosed system determines that the initiating user did not perform better than the predetermined level, the system may proceed to step 675, ending process 600.

At step 645, an accessory of the initiating user (e.g., which the user may use to control a game character as described for example above) may be activated based on predetermined parameters. For example, the exemplary accessory may be controlled in a way to reward or provide comfort to the user if the user met the threshold or may be controlled in a way that is not rewarding to the user if the threshold was not met (e.g., based on an operation of game communication module 355). For example, the accessory may vibrate from strong to weak, weak to strong, and/or be make any other movements or actions as described for example above. For example, the winning user may be provided with more desirable actions by the accessory and more discretion in controlling the accessory.

At step 650, the exemplary system may determine whether or not the interaction will be performed again based on, for example, input from the initiating user, predetermined criteria, and/or any other suitable criteria. If the system determines that another interaction should be performed, the system returns to step 635. If the system determines that another interaction should not be performed, the system proceeds to step 675, ending process 600.

If the exemplary disclosed system determines at step 630 that a multiple user configuration has been selected, the system may proceed to step 655. At step 655, the interaction (e.g., game such as a passing through game) may proceed with a game character controlled by multiple users (e.g., multiple human and/or artificial intelligence users). Game play between the users may proceed.

At step 660, game result module 350 may determine if one of the users has reached the predetermined level (e.g., first to reach) and/or scored the predetermined amount of points (e.g., before all players have “died” or run out of energy). For example, game result module 350 may quantify a computing device interaction performance (e.g., measure and quantify a performance of one or more users based on predetermined criteria such as scoring for effective performance in a game). If one of the users has reached the predetermined level, the system may proceed to step 665. Game communication module 355 may control the respective accessories of the winning and losing users as described for example above (e.g., or allow the winning user to control the other accessory of the losing user). For example, the winning user may be allowed to control the accessories of the remaining users. For example, accessories may vibrate from strong to weak, weak to strong, and/or be make any other movements or actions as described for example above. For example, the winning user may be provided with more desirable actions by the accessory and more discretion in controlling the accessory. In at least some exemplary embodiments, the winning user may be allowed by the exemplary disclosed system to activate the accessories of other users based on the winning user's discretion and/or may direct (e.g., or the system may direct) the other players to comfort the winner via the winner's accessory and/or taking other desired actions.

At step 670, the exemplary system may determine whether or not the interaction will be performed again based on, for example, input from the initiating user and/or other users, predetermined criteria, and/or any other suitable criteria. Also for example, the system may proceed directly from step 660 to step 670 is the exemplary system determines that no user has achieved the predetermined level at step 660. At step 670, if the system determines that another interaction should be performed, the system returns to step 655. If the system determines that another interaction should not be performed, the system proceeds to step 675, ending process 600.

Another exemplary operation of the exemplary disclosed apparatus, system, and method will now be described. For example, <figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIG. 21</figref> illustrates an exemplary process 700. In at least some exemplary embodiments, process 700 may be a method for providing any suitable type of computing device interaction such as a sports game (e.g., sports video game). Process 700 begins at step 705.

At step 710, a user (e.g., user 324 or model 335 that may be a “first user” or an “initiating user”) may log in to the exemplary disclosed system (e.g., system 300). At step 715, the user (e.g., via model device 320, user device 322, personal device 325, and/or personal device 326) may select a desired computing device interaction such as, for example, a sports game (e.g., a sports video game). For example, the user may enter input that may be processed by game setting module 340 to set a desired interaction.

At step 720, the user (e.g., via model device 320, user device 322, personal device 325, and/or personal device 326) may configure an exemplary accessory (e.g., accessory 330 or accessory 331) similar to at step 520.

At step 725, the user may make movement assignments. The accessory may be configured to make some movements at step 720, and another control device (e.g., a control such as a smart band, glove, or other suitable control device) may be configured to make other movements in the sports game.

At step 730, the user may select a role (e.g., similar to step 525). At step 735, the exemplary disclosed system may determine whether or not another role in the interaction is controlled by a second user (e.g., a human user such as user 324 or model 335). If the exemplary disclosed system determines that a second user (e.g., human user) is not controlling a game character in the interaction, the system may proceed to step 740. At step 740, the interaction (e.g., game such as a sports game) proceeds with a game character controlled by the initiating or first user and a role controlled by the exemplary disclosed system (e.g., by artificial intelligence).

At step 745, the exemplary disclosed system may determine whether or not the initiating or first user performed better at the interaction (e.g., won the fighting game) than the game character controlled by the artificial intelligence (e.g., similar to step 540). If the exemplary disclosed system determines that the initiating or first user performed better than (e.g., or performed equal to) the artificial intelligence, the system may proceed to step 750. If the exemplary disclosed system determines that the initiating or first user did not perform better than the artificial intelligence, the system may proceed to step 775, ending process 700.

At step 750, the interaction may continue and/or restart (e.g., start a new game) with more advanced artificial intelligence controlling the game character opposing the initiating or first user. The interaction may proceed (e.g., game play may proceed). At step 755, the exemplary disclosed system may again determine whether or not the initiating or first user performed better at the interaction (e.g., won the sports game) than the game character controlled by the artificial intelligence. If the exemplary disclosed system determines that the initiating or first user again performed better than (e.g., or performed equal to) the artificial intelligence, the system may return to step 750 (e.g., more advanced artificial intelligence may be provided as an opponent). If the exemplary disclosed system determines that the initiating or first user did not perform better than the artificial intelligence, the system may proceed to step 775, ending process 700.

If the exemplary disclosed system determines at step 735 that a second user (e.g., human user) is controlling a game character in the interaction, the system may proceed to step 760. At step 760, the interaction (e.g., game such as a sports game) proceeds with a game character controlled by a human user (e.g., user 324 or model 335). Game play between the users may proceed.

At step 765, game result module 350 may determine which user performed better at the interaction, and based on the results, game communication module 355 may control the respective accessories of the winning and losing users as described for example above (e.g., or allow the winning user to control the other accessory of the losing user). For example, the exemplary disclosed accessories may be controlled similar to as described above at step 560. Also for example, the losing player or players may be directed to speak, make utterances, and/or take actions (e.g., that may be recorded by a camera and transmitted to the winner) that may please or comfort the winner.

At step 770, the exemplary system may determine whether or not the interaction will be performed again based on, for example, input from the initiating user and/or other users, predetermined criteria, and/or any other suitable criteria. If the system determines that another interaction should be performed, the system returns to step 760. If the system determines that another interaction should not be performed, the system proceeds to step 775, ending process 700.
